Missing crlf in pc file to Iseries

[bswann]

We are receiving a file from another company and they have strip off the crlf codes from the file. Does anyone have a utility they would not mind sharing on how to had these back. The other company is unwilling to do so, since they send out numerous file to other customers. By stripping the codes the file is smaller and easier to transmit.

I think I know that

We need to get the hexcodes for CR & LF
I have them some where I will find later or you can do web search.

Copy the data down to a flat file with one field called "data"

then in RPG

find the last char in the line
USER the CHECKR command

' ' checkr data end
if %found
eval %subst(data:str+1) = %trim(CRLF)
update file
endif

If you can

Post a copy of the file. Ill throw something together...

It may cost you a favor later though

Thanks

Thanks for the offer but I had to write a program to do this. They had also written the file in a 80 character Block which cause the actual end of record at time to be in the middle of the next record.
